Blithe Spirit 1 Minute

Continued from 4/20 post about Harmon/Lilly town hall meeting 4/6 in Elmwood Park:

The April 6 session had complaints a-plenty about proposed budget cuts, And also about the governor.

Complaints about Gov. Rauner multiplied. A woman told how hard it was to get through to his office. “I know it’s hard,” said Harmon. “Keep calling.”

“The next seven weeks [of budget struggle],” he predicted, “will be a slow, bloody slog.”

He added, and repeated later: “I don’t understand this governor. I don’t know what makes him tick.”
